“I never want to hurt no one to the point so they can’t go back to their children.”

When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you’ve got a dangerous man on your hands.

To make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.

I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.

I would love to go to England.

The British scene in boxing, not just the heavyweight division, is popping.

There is no bigger fight than Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Boxing is my true calling. I’ve found my purpose in life.

I want to defend and put my title on the line as much as possible. If the top in the division are ready to try to come and take my belt – and the key word is ‘try’ – I’m ready to give them that opportunity.

I think Joshua has been doing a good job winning his fights and beating the guys in front of him. You got to congratulate him for his success.

If Bronze Bomber got loose in the streets, it won’t be something nice.

I’m definitely an active champion. I’m looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.

People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.

God definitely blessed me with power. I still don’t know the limits of my own power.

I’m not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.

I’m one of the baddest, hardest-hitting heavyweights in the business. Right here from Alabama, baby.

I was born a leader, never a follower. I never felt peer pressure. If the group goes left, I go right.

Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts.

Love and help all the children, all the days of your existence. They need us.

Children are the future of our world.

Our freedom is threatened every time one of our young people is killed by another child, every time a person gets stopped and beaten by the police because of the color of their skin.

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

What are the children of men, but as leaves that drop at the wind’s breath?

All men know their children mean more than life.
